Question

I am creating an API and I would like to distinguish GET, DELETE, MODIFY, POST requests.

Is it possible to distinguish that from a controller?

For example:

Distinguish: (GET REQUEST)

GET http://myapi.com/POST/1234

From DELETE REQUEST

DELETE http://myapi.com/POST/1234

Can I do that from post controller?

Thanks

Answer 1

Inside a controller action method, do:

request.method

It’s going to say which HTTP method was used.

You can also use:

request.get?
request.post?
request.delete?

And so on.
